Our partnership with @Pillar_Bio will combine their targeted panels with @illumina 's NGS and bioinformatics for rapid #genomic profiling of tumors when focused testing is needed. Improving care for patients with advanced and high-risk cancer, together.

What do you get when you combine 250,000 WGS with 20 years of structured clinical data?

You get The Alliance for Genomic Discovery with partners including @abbvie, @AstraZeneca, @Bayer, @Merck, @NashvilleBio, and @illumina.

Welcome to the #genome era!

Great to see this legislation re-introduced. While massive clinical studies are ongoing and needed, adoption of MCEDs could decrease cancer mortality by 25%. OMB needs to look budget impact (including savings from earlier detection) not just test cost https://t.co/Rt8VS1zlYQ

I'm thrilled about this app on @XPeer5 that is helping address the #genomics education gap! Kudos to my peers Holly Snyder and Maria Martinez-Fresno for their efforts on this much needed resource. https://t.co/EvVPgzSam9 #MedGeneEd23

Just completed our educational game - “comprehensive genomic protector” - my score was 140 - struggled with EGFR Exon 20 insertions in lung. Come by our booth at #ASCO2023 and beat my score! (Or learn where you need to read more!)

I think Chris will need your expertise at the site. Perhaps if he offers an awesome sample to sequence AND Giants tickets?

[Gary Schroth @Genomics_Guy]

@mason_lab Ok - deal.
You go retrieve that sample and I will help sequence the heck out of it! 🧬
DNA, RNA, Viruses, Bacteria, Plants, Animals, GUANO- whatever you can recover! 🧬🦠🦇

Great to see UK's NICE endorse this use of pharmacogenomics for patients with stroke and TIA.

32% of individuals in UK have elevated risk of subsequent stroke when given clopidogrel rather than platelet inhibitors not impacted by CYP2C19.

Dengue & Marburg & SARS, Oh My!

As COVID-19 becomes an endemic public health challenge, genomic surveillance will serve as a critical component of a comprehensive global pandemic early warning system. A few thoughts about recent past, present, and future.

Great pick for the NIH!

I have had the privilege to work closely with Monica over the years. She is a brilliant and thoughtful surgeon-scientist leader that will provide outstanding direction to the NIH.

This is incredibly important work to ensure the benefits of genomics are realized by all AND only the beginning to ensure a truly representational reference genome is available for individuals across the globe.

While a lot of folks don’t want to believe it, TMB provides a way to identify patients who may benefit from I/O therapy. I don’t know how you can say you are “doing everything you can”, stay evidence based, and not know the TMB of an advanced cancer patient. #saveTMB

I don’t know, Serafim. While I would not want an EHR-toxic doctor to go head to head vs. a fresh AI-avatar, I still believe in the ability of humans to connect therapeutically through interactions that are not readily captured with DNNs

[Serafim Batzoglou @s_batzoglou]

This is quite amazing and super fast. Doctor GPT is more accurate and more empathetic than doctors, according to health professionals

Congratulations Duncan! Your leadership through the pandemic gave me a front seat perspective on how you apply your deep knowledge of infectious disease, public health, and technology to the benefit of our communities! Great to see you step into this role!

[CDC Advanced Molecular Detection @CDC_AMD]

Join us in congratulating Duncan MacCannell on his new role as director of @CDCgov’s Office of Advanced Molecular Detection. With his vision and leadership, OAMD will continue to promote capacity, ethical open data, and equity in precision public health. https://t.co/swPj5AjdeR

Very cool to think about the impact on human health. Personally, I am celebrating #DNADay23 by using my genome information to stay as healthy as possible while working to ensure many others, from all communities, can benefit from DNA sequencing in times of health and illness.

[Francis deSouza @fdesouza]

Today is #DNADay23 celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Human Genome Project and the 70th birthday of discovery of the double helix. Genomics is already improving health outcomes globally. I’m excited for the next generation to bring the benefits of genomics to all. #genomics

[Phillip Febbo, MD @PhilFebboMD_CMO]

Erin - Your reporting has certainly aged well given @moderna_tx @AACR presentations on their study results from a personalized melanoma vaccine!

As a country, we are in such a better place with these state and local public health labs actively participating in pathogen surveillance! Than you for all the hard work during a very challenging time.

[Duncan MacCannell @dmaccannell]

Fantastic effort from the entire @CDC_AMD team, helping to catalyze and support the incredible efforts of hundreds of state and local public health, academic and private sector laboratories.

[Phillip Febbo, MD @PhilFebboMD_CMO]

The data we use should represent the full diversity of the human population. With equitable representation in the data, therapies and solutions can be attuned to a broader set of genomes. Let’s get this done!

[Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK @CRUKresearch]

Great point from @PhilFebboMD_CMO of @illumina - data from those of European ancestry make up over 70% of our understanding of genetic associations to cancer. That has to change, diversity in research participation is clearly so important here. #AACER 23 (PP)

[Phillip Febbo, MD @PhilFebboMD_CMO]

I hope you enjoyed the talk! I enjoyed being able to advocate for screening and, importantly, including all communities in the development, validation, and adoption of existing and emerging tests!

[Kevin Keegan @keegan_ke]

@PhilFebboMD_CMO at today’s plenary session @AACR talking about early detection of cancer. @illumina

[Phillip Febbo, MD @PhilFebboMD_CMO]

Great to be invited to talk @AACR by @pkuhn1 and @AACRPres to discuss how we can improve cancer outcomes through intercepting disease with ctDNA based screening assays. Proud to represent industry and specifically @illumina at such an important meeting.

[AACR @AACR]

Session chair Peter Kuhn and Annual Meeting Program Chair Robert Vonderheide with the speakers in today's Plenary Session on Early Detection and Interception of Cancer: Phil H. Jones, @DrShelleyHwang, @PhilFebboMD_CMO, Elana @FertigLab, and Karriem Watson. #AACR23 @pkuhn1

Nice use of sequencing to confirm the connection between the water source and infected individuals AND a great motivation to keep using my water filter when hiking!!!
